Throughout the 6-month intervention, a pharmacist who was also a certified diabetes educator and had full prescribing privileges spent 4 hours per week in the DIMM clinic managing patients with baseline HbA1C >8% on an individual basis. During each 3- to 5-hour clinic visit, the pharmacist focused on “finding the best combination of medications for the individual patient, education on medication adherence, simplifying the drug regimen to fit around the patient’s schedule, and setting personalized goals,” study author Candis M. Morello, PharmD, director of the DIMM clinic in the Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System, told Clinical Endocrinology News. Following each visit, patients returned to their PCPs but were permitted to make follow-up calls to the pharmacist, Morello said.
